Arrangements have been made at Santa Fe, New Mexlco, whereby the big copper mine at San Pedro IS again to resume operations. For four years this mine, with two entries and near ly two miles of exposed mineral, ranging from eight to twenty-eight feet in thickness and running from 20 to go per cent. pure copper, has stood idle on account of litigation. The ihine is situated on what is known as the Canon del Agua grant, which is alleged to be fraudulent and has been operated by the Canon del Agua & San Pedro Mining Company, which four years ago attempted to evict miners who had located within the grant Inn, 1ts.-Journal-Miner.

Copper. i

The speculative copper market is dull and rather weaker, but the pro- ducers and manufacturers market is frm,. though with few transactions. Producers. are 'out ofthe market and ask 41-eents- -feE~ batke, ,tftAs4sh-4s4s4ssa-- lecturers have not yet reached that level, and continue to offer less. On the Metal Exchange 25.O0O pounds of August Lake was sold at 10'45c., and an equal amount of September at 10'55c., but these quotations have no effect ton the producers,
 Not so, however, the serious reports that fire had broken out on the 1900 foot level of the Calumet & Hecla mine. The latest rumor stated that three shafts of the c. & H. had been closed, which would indicate a serious fire. The 16OO level IS worked out, and consequently is full of timber. If the fire should be serious the price of copper will at once advance, for it would very greatly reduce the output of this great mine. The Black Hills end is open and the lower levels can be reached and the ore there can be worked even while the fire may be burning in the 1900 level, but the closing of the shafts, which are the limiting element in the Calumet < Hecla output, will directly. affect the production of the mine.-N.

There are probably some extrava- gant features in the story winch credits Philadelphia syndicate with securing the privilege of developing the Chinese Empire and establishing a bank with S2OO,OOO,00G in that coiuln- try. The story which connected Jay Gould's name with the scheme seems to be incorrect. But in essential par tlculars the report appears te be founded on fact. A syndicate of American capitalists has obtained a concession for tEe introduction of rall- roads, telegraphs, telephones, iron and steel mills and banks into China. Of course, this will give an impetus to American trade with China, and lead to better feeling on the part of that country toward the United States than It has held since the restriction on Chinese immigration was adopted by Congress a few years ago.-Globe- Democrat.

The constant recurrence of suits at law involving the right to possession of valuable springs and other natural water supplies, should teach stockmeh the necessity of losing no time in se- curing the best title they can to what ever land locations they may possess.
